Does the Declaration de Travaux form still contine for minor works?

No the déclaration de travaux no longer exists.

It has been replaced by the déclaration préalable, but the rules are slightly different.
Your mairie is the place to go to for more details.

Thanks.

Has anyone seen a translation of the new forms?

Clair,

Can you help us regarding an on-going work problem? We would like to replace our roof (chrysotile). No problems there. However we are in a small village with an ancient church and chateau. Although not actually visible from our property, we are on the same street, and it is facing us.

To date, we are struggling to find out what we need to do. We have contacted the Maire, no help there - they told us to contact Batiments de France, we did, and also the company at Poitiers who are meant to help us get help for these situations. No reply there either. All we want to know is what type of permit we need to get the work done?

Does anyone know the ruling regarding the permis for this type of property. We would like to do it correctly, friends of ours in the village rebuilt their whole house, they had nothing from the Maire. Everytime we start to enquire we are just told to contact the Batiments.

Thank you.

Keni & Chris

from your description, it sounds like you are in the equivalent of a conservation area.
The Batiments de France have architects who assess the materials to be used for changes, down to what colour paint must be used on shutters...

For your area (Haute Vienne) you need to contact them here:

Service Départementaux de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine (SDAP) de la Haute-Vienne
Hotel Niaud
36 rue des Vénitines
87000 LIMOGES

Chef de Service et architecte des bâtiments de France: Max Boisrobert
Secrétariat: Auphélie Nourry: 05 55 33 32 72

I was on the sidelines of a similar case a couple of years ago in the village, it took several months for the file to be assembled before it could be passed on for the application. That was with the old rules...

I have just read an article in French Property News which says that if you want to" make other external alterations such as repointing or rendering external walls you need to submit a declaration prealable". Having jsut finished one exterior wall, and about to start another, this seems to be taking things a bit far.. I would have thought repointing was a repair job, not a change- unless of course you are changing from render or vice versa.

I just spoke with the secretary at our Mairee who was helpfulness personified. I was having trouble explaining I was doing a loft conversion with a dormer window diectly looking onto the church, she seemed to think it was a Velux we were on about and we could do this without the major permis but she would check. Next day forms arrived, no fuss. I think it only right that I provide a scheme and drawings all in French for the Maire ratherthan find out the hard way something was lost in translation. In my experiences with French Officialdom, they have been at pains to be helpful despite my bumbling attempts at making myself understood.

So is a permis required for a velux? Our village is supposed to be a conservation area and the notaire said that means '.g. you can't paint your shutters red' but there are all colours. Veluxes were not allowed but there are new ones every time we go there! The general view is ' do it when no-one is looking'. Our house is very dark so it would be great'

Likewise friends were told they couldn't have a blue pool, nor a tear shaped one - had to be white and oblong. it can't be seen from the street and anyway either colour/ shape is not medieval!
